Cliff Empire Free Download GAMESPACK.NET The game starts with you picking a spot on one of your cliffs for a storage depot, which is dropped pre-built and pre-loaded with resources and drones from orbit. From there you have a fairly specific building order (explained by the fairly comprehensive tutorial missions) to get your first city running: You need a power source, residences, landing platform, food and water, battery charger, and portal for selling things back to the folks in space. Eventually you’ll go through most of the production chain and utility buildings in this way, and learn how to expand to other plateaus in the area. There are aspects of spinning up your survivor settlement that don’t get explained well, like satisfying entertainment needs and securing uranium, but the tutorial lands you in a good place to work these details out yourself. Some of those features may sound oddly specific, and that’s because Cliff Empire has some pretty unique conventions to deal with. Batteries, for example, are used to keep power running in your city when your renewable sources falter. Solar panels don’t work at night, obviously, and wind can change from day to day.

As the game progresses, players must construct multi-level structures and utilize elevators to transport goods and people up and down the cliff

If you’re over-producing on power, the excess can be shunted into batteries that keep the lights on, or get used to build vehicles like drones, or end up sold for profit. Drones are how all your goods are moved around, so expanding you fleet from the airport is important as your city grows. They also move goods to the portal when it’s open, so the more drones you have the more goods you can sell per visit. You’ll learn the basics of these systems, but not the specifics of balancing or manipulating them. That’s left to be found in the buildings themselves, as some structures like town halls and banks have special utility in charting your growth in certain areas. All the needs of your citizens are shown in small graphs along the bottom of the screen, and these graphs play an important part in monitoring your supplies of food, water, iPhones, and justice. Some key aspects of running your city will still prove elusive, like keeping up with your battery supply or managing your economy. The tutorial seems to burn you right through your starting money and expect you to work out what to do next, and after a few tries I think I got it, but again that took a few false starts to suss out.

Cliff Empire in the test abundance of future technologies

All of these aspects have been much improved since Early Access, but a cornerstone of the game is experimenting and seeing what works and what doesn’t. Even once you find a good balance of structures and a development style that works for you, there will still be curveballs. Each cliff has modifiers that determine how efficiently you can extract resources like water and construction bits from it, and some of these are hidden until you research the right techs. There’s no innate balance to these stats either, so it’s entirely possible to roll cliffs on your map that are deficient in everything. You can work around this, and it can be a fun challenge, but it adds to the adjusting you need to do in learning this game. Same with environmental effects and disasters, and same with requests from the orbital station. The first big hurdles in learning the game are learning how to build a city stable enough to resist these factors and learning how to not expand past your stable limits. But that’s when Cliff Empire really sings, when you’ve got your farms running and your pumps pumping and the nuclear power plant making stable power, because then you can start testing the limits of what you can build.

3D printer factories can build consumer goods for your citizens and engines for your drones and zeppelins, the latter of which provide transportation and tourism between cliffs. For more direct travel you build huge suspension bridges that allow trading between cities, which really opens up the optimization possibilities. There are all manner of services to provide your people like health care and entertainment, and that research system that I mentioned can improve just about every facet of your cities, including the poor qualities of a particular cliff. Beyond the learning experience, there’s plenty of potential in finding new optimizations and challenging yourself in more hostile environments. You’ve got endless randomly-generated maps you can work on, and also additional modes like sandbox and tower defense to explore. The latter is interesting, as I didn’t expect any sort of combat or defensive systems to get added to the game, but they add an interesting new dimension to the gameplay if you get tired of crafting cities. Considering how many hours it can take just to get your peaceful cities into stable, prosperous places, having new modes to explore is a real treat.

Again and again we have to face various weather scenarios

Overall the concepts are strong and the building has quite a bit of strategy and balancing to it, even after you solve the initial challenges. It can still be tricky to fight the interface to get the data you need, but fortunately that’s the only weak part of the presentation. The art style is an impossibly clean, impossibly white contemporary look that resembles an architectural model brought to life. Coupled with the camera effects you can conjure some striking images, a surreal vision of a sterile tech-heavy society of the future. The sound design is nice and soothing as well, though without anything particularly memorable about it. Still, the presentation and structure of the game very much sets it apart from other builders, and the challenges keep it engaging in ways you might not be used to. Cliff Empire has turned out to be a fine addition to the builder genre, one that offers new perspectives on designing and managing sci-fi cities. Oh, and let’s not forget that the implicit subtext, with only decades passed since nuclear disaster, the survivors on a space station recolonising, and them recolonising literal ivory towers Days Gone

As the city grows, the demand for these resources increases, making it crucial for players to plan ahead and expand their resource production.

(Well, okay, some sort of white stone, but still) with the power of actually working for once, and bitcoin as currency… Well, suffice to say, despite the criticisms of the game being legitimate ones, I am much less sympathetic to the colonists in this game than I have been for many others. I have more sympathies for the marauders who occasionally crop up, even if they make my teeth grind, gameplay wise. So yes, Cliff Empire is one of those colonisation survival games, where you start with limited resources, that you have to use efficiently, because getting more is dependent on several things, not all of which you know beforehand. Is this the tower you start on with 100% Uranium yield, 40% Uranium yield, or precisely fuck all? You don’t know. Is the soil fertile enough for crops to do well? You don’t know until much later on. Can you afford the Uranium from your somewhat richer masters up top, or will you just have to cope with what you can eke out? You don’t know. And large towers were constructed by… Well, actually, why were they constructed, if what was left were rich people?

With battery stations we can store excess electricity and practically convert it into rechargeable batteries

What you do know is how much groundwater there is in each tower, how well wind or solar power works there, and, the most obvious, if there’s a big honking pool of water that may contain enough fish worth harvesting, but definitely takes up valuable space which you could have used for one more maintennance panel. Okay, so let’s briefly take a trip into “This is nice” town. The aesthetic is pretty cool. The music is chill and relaxing, the cities are neofuturist, and the inclusion of a tourist mode, where you can spend your spare time wandering around the city (sort of) is nice. On the downside, the trade UX still has that trap of “No clear input fields, so you butt your head against the lack of buttonage, when you’re actually meant to put numbers in the ‘sell if more’ and ‘buy if less’ fields” I complained about last time. But mechanically, it’s slow, it can be very trying, it has several Dead Man Walking scenarios, even in the early game, and then… There are the quests. WELP. I had enough engines… But not enough were delivered in time. Not least because it takes a while to get more than the three drones you start with. What with concentrating on survival and all… Day Of Infamy

The bougie masters up top demand resources. And if they do not get those resources in time, you will lose some of the money you desperately need, and only have limited means of generating for yourself. Oh, and your colonists, if unemployed, despite being fed, given furniture (never enough), gadgets (never enough), appliances (never enough), and parks and other nice little perks, will steal from your coffers. Hell, sometimes, if you haven’t provided enough for the pampered little darlings, they’ll steal from your coffers anyway. There is definitely potential in Cliff Empire, and maybe, one day, that potential will turn up, subtext of the narrative aside (Honestly, there’s not really any redemption on that front, especially in the current climate.) But it’s such a frustrating grind of a city builder, that I’m not having a good time, even with the relaxing music and nice aesthetic. In addition to industry and food procurement, economy is the third component in Cliff Empire. So that our cities do not go into debt, trade portals can be built, for example, which sell goods in space. But it is much more important that our cities trade with each other.

In the ideal case, for example, city A produces all the food and then sells it to the other two cities. Another option is to build various bank and office buildings that passively generate money. In fact, money is significantly more important than commodities. We often sat on a mountain of resources that we could hardly use, since most buildings cost a hefty chunk of cryptocurrency. Unfortunately, the various processes take a little too long. Although the process can be accelerated using sliders, it still takes a little eternity until enough money comes in through the trade and the offices. The situation is similar with the research, which also takes a relatively long time. Unfortunately, the only thing that helps is to let the game run at six times the speed almost permanently. In addition to mining resources, we also need to take care of our residents. They not only need something to eat, but also want to be supplied with various luxury goods. Five different types of food are needed to keep our colonists healthy and full. There are also three types of consumables to increase happiness. It quickly becomes clear that we have to outsource many production steps to other pillars because there is not enough space on the first one.
